What did you do to your Maverick or Comet today

Great buy, the bell housing alone is worth 3 times alone then what you paid for the whole transmission. It's a T5 right?

 

Yep its a world class t5.

 

Sweet....

 

Although it’s a NWC T5 I picked this stuff up last night for $44.

Purchased for the bellhousing, Hurst short throw shifter & aluminum valve covers.

Before cleaning

After a few minutes in the parts washer, seems that being covered in oil for decades kept them from corroding like most I’ve seen.

 

Nice score!

 

New gas cap installed

 

Wow nice score!! The valve covers are worth $150+ alone.

 

Yes I know, I’ve been looking for a affordable set for over a year.

 

They are one of my favorite sets! I drove 1.5 hours each way to buy a set for $50 a year ago. Definitely a good score.

 

What year are they? The early ones were prone to cracking so they added thicker material around the screw holes.

 

I believe a early set, he said all parts were off a 82 but the tags all say 83.

 

Pulled water pump and front cover to address coolant leak.

 

Found my front end noise. It’s ready for Cars and Coffee in the morning

 

received my new timing chain/gears and seals. Gonna do that on labor day tomorrow, cuz you know it will be labors

 

Finally tuned the replacement carburetor.
